The grills have gone cold at Fuji Japanese Steakhouse. The restaurant, anchoring a prominent corner of the Beau Rivage Marketplace plaza at 5954 Carolina Beach Rd., fired up just 10 months ago in the space formerly occupied by Tengu Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar.

Winning critical marks for the culinary acrobatics of their teppanyaki chefs, the restaurant’s sushi offerings were also a popular draw.

David Miller, who’s property management company owns the plaza, said the Fuji owners began moving out about three weeks ago. He said a number of potential new restaurant owners have shown interest in the space, but that a deal hadn’t yet been signed.
